Is anyone filming the eclipse from a plane, looking DOWN as Totality passes, filming the crowds and traffic jams coast to coast? That would make a great video!

I think tracking all the cellphone signals and doing a timelapse, showzing all those dots converging on the tiny ribbon of totality would be even more interesting.
